The Soviets Are Coming

Perhaps not as catchy as "The Russians are coming" but more accurate given the demographic makeup of the forces facing the Axis on the Eastern Front.

I have been watching for a Soviet army for sale and when I saw this on The Australian Historical Wargamer Trading Post on Facebook I pounced.

These images are what appeared on Facebook.

455 professionally painted troops - still in packaging from painter
4 x 4 horse carriages
120 pieces of armour trucks etc - built and in base coat
23 arty pieces - painted crews are in the troop packs.

All up 10.6kg!

    Wow. An army and a half! The infantry look fantastic.
    Some work to do on the tanks though.

      I will try and work through the kit on a scenario basis. Soviet armour is easy to paint if I follow the style I use for my US armour (and without the hassle of fiddly transfers) so I'm not too concerned. First task is to get a set of drawers to house it all in.
